Even if you have one of those fancy universal remote controls that has more processing power than your first computer, the entire remote experience still leaves something to be desired. By the time you’re done switching inputs, changing tracks or figuring out how to dim your smart lights, you’ve wasted more time than you probably want to. Controlling it with fifteen different apps on your phone isn’t any less tedious, and that also drains your battery. Sevenhugs, a French startup in the smart home space, wants to change all of that with their new, contextual Smart Remote. Depending on what you point the remote at, the screen and UI change to make adjusting Philips Hue lights, Nest Thermostats or Sonos Speakers (the current products it’s compatible with) easier than ever.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
